Tip: Use park benches for quick breaks and let baby enjoy the water feature’s gentle sound.
Café Pit-stop:
Order coffee and snacks at Good Day Deli with high-chairs available.
Tip: Ask staff for the nearest baby-changing table before you sit down.
Quick Self-guided Tour:
Take a 30-minute walk through the main foyer displays if baby is calm.

A peaceful and powerful place. Nano Nagle Place is a hidden gem in Cork — beautiful gardens, a thoughtful museum, and an inspiring story of a woman who changed lives through education and compassion. Quiet, moving, and truly worth a visit.

Cannot believe it has taken me so long to visit this fantastic oasis of calm in my native city. Immaculately preserved and presented buildings, cemetery and gardens. Museum, bookshop, café and restaurant on site. Entrance is free of charge. Well worth a visit as it is only a short walk from St. Finbarre's cathedral. Parking extremely limited....so leave the car at home.

Pleasant surprise stumbling across this peaceful spot in the middle of Cork city. We were greeted by a very friendly and informative worker. Didn’t take the paid tour, but enjoyed just walking around the grounds. Will have to return to try the little restaurant someday. Few people just relaxing and talking, and a couple others that looked like they were also there for the first time. I’m not sure ...
In spring and summer, gardens bloom and paths stay dry. Visit early in winter to enjoy the heated café and catch the Christmas trail in December.
